About War
War follows two of London's most prestigious rival firms – Cathcarts and Taylor & Byrne – as they go head-to-head in the divorce case of the century. Each side is certain they'll win. But as the case spirals and loyalties fracture, reputations are on the line, and everyone's playing to win.
How to get through War faster
- Skip the intro. Roughly a minute and a quarter per episode adds up to about 10 minutes across the whole run.
- Bump the speed. At 1.25× the total drops to 5.8 hours; at 1.5× it's 4.9 hours.
- Watch with a comment section. A running conversation pinned to each moment makes long stretches feel shorter, and it's the reason TalkAbtIT exists.
